Disability Murals - About Disability Murals works with disabled people in different parts of the UK to create artwork showing their messages and ideas.

The work of disabling borders is collective, and among many others, Rebecca has worked with community artist Andrew Bolton, and disabled people across different communities to create murals. You can find, and learn about them on www.disabilitymurals.org.uk/about.php 4/7

This episode is based on Rebecca Yeo’s book, with the same title, Disabling Migration Control, which is based on her many years of organizing within the disabled people’s movement and against borders, and in particular her engagement with disabled people in the asylum system. 3/7

The immigration system is actively disabling. And similar restrictions are being continually extended to the wider population, most recently through welfare reforms.
With shared learning, solidarity and collective resistance we can, instead, disable the borders that restrict and divide us. 2/7

Now online: Ep 29, w Rebecca Yeo @disabmurals.bsky.social ‬

The disabled people’s movement has long argued that preventing people from meeting their needs is disabling. Restrictions imposed on people in the immigration system disable people with existing impairments and create new impairments 1/7

“As we hit the streets, I thought it might be inspiring to think about the ways in which art and dance and other facets of performance can make protest a more resonant act.”

Freedom Dreams Episode 1: aja monet
Freedom Dreams Episode 1: aja monet YouTube video by Haymarket Books

Robin DG Kelley on the poetry of aja monet (1:05:33)

"This is what makes the poems so powerful and dangerous. Like violets pushing through concrete to kiss the sun, or unarmed people, arms locked, chanting and singing, forcing armies to retreat."

Het hele idee dat een 'we' zelf mag en moet bedenken wat die met 'migratie' wil, is de raciale grond waarop alle lulkoek die doorgaat voor 'democratie' gebaseerd is. Iedereen die daaraan meedoet (en dat doen 'we' allemaal wel een beetje) is bezig de hak in de nek van anderen te houden.

Martin Luther King Speaks! Beyond Vietnam (Full) YouTube video by Matthew Siegfried

Every MLK day I post what I consider to be Dr. King’s most powerful speech: “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence,” April 4, 1967. The late Vincent Harding wrote much of it, as he himself told me years ago. Here is the prophetic voice at the peak of its power.

The Algeria Analogy We must turn to histories of decolonization not in order to predictoutcomes, but to expand our sense of how to fight without knowing the future.

Such an important and thoughtful piece, by @arthurasseraf.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social

"How can we prevent our own history of departure from being twisted to support the ongoing colonization of Palestine?"

Beautiful piece by @mollycrabapple.bsky.social

“The rebel dead are not so easy to silence. Not in the forests of Eastern Europe, and not in mutilated Gaza. Their words bleed into the present, where they can be used by the living to create another world.”

On the EU-IOM border regime in the Balkans as a contemporary form of imperialism.

And on the weapons companies that benefit from displacement and global apartheid, as they do from the ongoing genocide in Gaza🍉
